New Purse!

Hello hello!

Wahahaha! I got a new purse! (or new purses, rather lol)

First I'm gonna show you my old purse... it's so battered that girl friend said "you need a new purse" XD

Photobucket
My old purse was a Rocawear... bought it SO long ago when I was into the bling... it doesn't really go with my style anymore lol. Yes it's very tiny XD I used to wear big purses but I always end up stuffing so many things in it that my purse became too heavy, so I bought a small one to limit myself XD
Photobucket
One rhinestone missing =((
Photobucket
the shoulder strap O_O wow... I didn't even realize how worn it was...
Yeah there's a scratch on my hand, from my bunny T__T love is pain? lol! 
Photobucket
sadness... contributed by my bunny =_= Boba chewed it while I wasn't paying attention ARGH! Maybe I will give the purse to Boba as his chew toy? lol!

So RIP Rocawear, and let's move on to my new purse =D

Photobucket
Yes, it's from Aldo ○(* ̄︶ ̄*)○ (not really a designer person when it comes to purses lol)
I figured it's time for something that looks more mature XD this color is like the perfect taupe for me <3

Photobucket
a zipper on top :)
Photobucket
Inside there are a few pockets :)

It's so roomy that I'm not quite used to it XD hopefully my old stuffing-everything-that-I-potentially-need-as-long-as-it-fits-until-it-gets-too-annoyingly-heavy  habit wouldn't come back XD It's sturdy and well structured! I love it! =D

Here's how it looks on me =D (Excuse MEGA camho... haha in love with the purse <3) 
Photobucket
Ew, feet! XD
Photobucket
(Lol I took the pics same day I did the Urban Outfitter post so same outfit =P)

I also bought another purse, because the sale on it was too amazing to pass up O_O
Photobucket
Ahhh, you all know I'm a sucker for leopard prints >_< (from Aldo as well ^_^)

This is gonna be my statement purse XD there's a one in black which also looks amazing too that I was so torn between the two... in the end leopard print won XD I figured might as well have a fun purse now I have a sophisticated one
Photobucket
Even roomier than my other one. But the pockets are kind of small and I kind of don't like the material on the inside... not as well-built as the other one. Oh well, it was cheap! =P

Camho session 2 lol!
Photobucket
Yeah I know... I need to stop eating XD Been eating wayyy toooo well lately that my weight has shot up quite a few pounds.... T__T Getting a bit too friendly with double chin lately LMAO!

That's all I have for you guys! What purse do you guys carry?

"Cheap" Urban Outfitters Finds =)

Hallo Bloggies! =D

LOL I realized I haven't done a OOTD post in so long, but that's because I hadn't shopped for clothes in FOREVER and I'm glad that I did purchase a few items over the past few weeks :D

Here's my clothing haul from Urban Outfitters (all the stuff I bought were on sale XD muahaha. I am willing to spend a lot on makeup because those are to be used on my face regularly. Not for clothes, though. My style changes ALL the time I figured it's not worth the money... unless it's something classic/key item)

They're just some basic T's... I wanted to buy some clothes that I don't have to think about... throw on and go you know =D (although I love fashion I rarely spend time dressing or following trends.... haha)

They're not cheap "cheap," but they were on sale XD like half original price =D

Photobucket
lol I don't know but I think this is super adorable
Photobucket
panda shirt =D but why is there an "X"? =((
Photobucket
peacock shirt haha! I didn't even like the print I just grabbed it cuz it was like $9... but surprisingly it fit me pretty well
Photobucket
I don't have any purple shirts! I think the color is lovely and warm :)
Photobucket
I think this is such a pretty pale pink :) (don't know what happened to the flash? excuse the lighting =T)

Photobucket
Okay this is the only item I bought with original price. It was an impulsive purchase XD but I don't regret it it goes great with a lot of stuff =) definitely will go well with most of the shirts I bought

 Here's the scarf on me =)
Photobucket
As well as one of the shirts XD

Photobucket
Haha I know I haven't showed my face in a while (my vids were all filmed quite a while ago XD) and already my bangs are not straight anymore =T went back to side-swept lol

Photobucket

Photobucket
Lol I just realized I'm always buying summer stuff in the winter and winter things in the summer... haha

Lately I've been replacing my love for F21 with Urban Outfitters... I don't know I feel like F21 has a very disappointing collection this fall/winter.

Where do you guys usually shop for clothes?

Mini Sephora Haul

Hiya bloggies!

So today I have a little haul to share with you guys. I took advantage of the VIB 20% off at Sephora a little while back and purchased a few things ^__^

By the way, Sephora let me return the Dior tinted moisturizer without a receipt O_O (I decided I really don't like it much at all lol!) I was like woahh really?! I got store credit instead. Thank you Sephora for your generous return policy mT___Tm

Moving on! XD

1. Sephora NAILS nail polish remover
Photobucket
Price: $9 for 4.22 fl.oz. (they also have a smaller size, as well as a travel one)

I bought this because I read from a fellow blogger that this nail polish remover is very gentle and moisturizing, and I had been using this crap nail polish remover that I bought at the drugstore that really stings and dries out my cuticles, so I decided to give this a try :)

- acetone free (although still smells like acetone to me for some reason...) with added vitamin E and macadamia oil
- doesn't dry out my hands :) might be a bit oily for some ppl though
- very gentle, perhaps take a second or more to remove nail polishes than other acetone-containing products, but it does the job so I don't mind it (it stings if you have a wound.... obviously... still chemicals lol).
- I really like it :)

2. Anastasia Tweezer
Photobucket
Price: $28
Photobucket
I keep the plastic cap thing to protect the tweezers. The SA warned me not to drop the tweezers because the metal part might bend or dull, so I figured it'd be safer to keep the cap on the tweezers at all times lol
Photobucket

Honestly I never thought I'd see the day where I'd spend soo much on a tweezer... but I'm so SICK and TIRED of buying cheap drugstore tweezers that only work 1 or 2 times before they become too dull to grasp fine, stray brow hairs. Ugh. The amount of tweezers I've gone through is probably worth 2 of this tweezer already, I decided it was time to invest in a good one.

- This tweezer is very sharp and works really really well even after many use. I love it :)

3. Givenchy Hot Couture Perfume
 Photobucket
Price varies from the size you get :)
Photobucket
Isn't it beautiful? XD
Photobucket
the ingredients... hopefully it'd make more sense to you guys than it does to me XD I'm not very good at describing scents

Description: 
Notes: Raspberry Dew, Jasmine, Bergamot, White Musk. 
Style: Confident. Flirtatious. Elegant. (I think it says it very well :P)

I've been lusting after this perfume ever since a good friend of mine showed me this XD it smells so amazing that I've been wearing it almost every day even if I'm just staying home XD just puts me in a really good mood when I smell it :)


I've been really liking musky scents lately :P to me, Hot Couture is sexy, sophisticated, yet young. (Although a friend who knows a lot more about perfume told me this scent to her is very very youthful XD)


Another perfume that I want to buy in the future will be the Chanel Chance in the pink bottle :P
Photobucket
I didn't buy it this time because the style of that perfume is more similar to all my other perfumes XD (on the sweet girly side haha) next time when there's a sale again XD

What are your favorite perfumes??? =DD

Dolly Wink launching eyeshadows/cream eyeshadows/mascara!! =D

Hello hello!

Haha this is my second post of the day, but I have quick exciting news  to share with you guys ^_________________^

Well exciting news for me anyway XD

Dolly Wink is launching 4 eyeshadow palettes, and two mascaras!!
I must say... I'm freaking excited for the mascaras!!!! Cannot wait for the day when I can finally lay my hands on these heehee >_<

**** Images taken from Dolly Wink official website****

Palette 1

Palette 2

Palette 3

Palette 4

I thought the last two palettes are a bit too similar in the color schemes... the only difference is one has pink and the other comes with orange

If I was purchasing the palettes, I'd probably get the first one (as boring as I am XD), the second and the last :) but of course I will only start out with one palette to test out the quality, since I found most drugstore eyeshadow less adhering and more chalky.


And two mascaras :) one for lengthening effects, the other for volumizing
Photobucket

Volumizing Mascara

I am most excited for these mascaras >__< not a big eyeshadow person haha. But I honestly think a girl can never have too many eyeliners or mascaras XD


Some extra pics of Tsubasa-san for all of you :)

I've grown to really like Tsubasa-san a lot ever since I started out using Dolly Wink, hehe (:
